North Dakota currently voting for delegates

Rep. Rick Berg & ND Taxpayers Association Disputing Over 'campaign mailing'


Reading while relaxing while waiting impatiently

 

[Wolfgang Bohringer]

Lying, on his website he talks about "job creating" legislation and how Obama stopped the keystone pipeline.

So he doesn't want to bring the troops home and re-establish sound money? That hardly ever happens at a Republican convention.

 

[opinionatedfool]

Any results yet? From sources that are no good I hear Romney is smashing it. What's the news?

I think they are still counting a paper ballot. It's hard to tell with tweets.

 

[ClydeCoulter]

So, is no news good news?

 

[Tod]

That is my understanding, also.......we need mock convention experience, with hitlerian style tatctics put on us by the mock establishment actors

That is an EXCELLENT idea! Each state should hold mock conventions, preferably at several locations around the state, as an educational tool for RP supporters. Would be great practice for all of us.

It appears that the delegate count will take a long time. Only the preapproved cramdown slate candidates were printed on the ballot. Any other nominee was listed on a projector and had to be written in. 1500, random order ballots will take a long time to count. It will probably be late afternoon or evening before the vote is counted.

Huh. Should be interesting.

At least RP and Santorum supporters will know not to vote for the ones initially printed on there

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Okay, so this is the next to the last time I'm going to sit on the edge of my chair refreshing the browsers if this kind of delay keeps happening, at least I think so. My old nerves can't take more than 12972.97 more hours of this!

Yes--write-ins versus the ballot candidates.

 

[The Goat]

Mod: This was posted in a Missouri thread when the caucus was shut down after repeated rules violations Rules violations can include refusal to COUNT the division of the vote so long as the vote isn't overwhelmingly clear visually. See discussion below:

I will repeat: I know a bit about party rules and Roberts Rules and they don't make any difference against this gambit. I would appreciate if there's some advice from a rules expert that will overcome the "deaf chair" maneuver. But I don't see how that's possible.

If the entire room is quiet except for the presiding chair (who is ignoring the member) and the member taking a vote in his place, it's easy to simply listen to the person taking a vote in his place. What effectively happens is the chair, who is behaving out of order, is simply ignored by the members in the room while they vote to remove him.

^Exactly.......

 

[Wolfgang Bohringer]

I'm confused. He said "Write in on a screen"

Write in on a screen?

And he wants a primary instead??

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Eric ‏ @Talking_Monkeys OMG "parades" are annoying. This convention needs a fast-forward botton.

Seriously

 

[PaulSoHard]

inside look at the convention

 

[carterm]

it's nice and dark in there. wouldn't want to shine a light on any fraud now would we.

 

[ClydeCoulter]

Eric ‏@Talking_Monkeys So... I'm lost. What time do we vote to legalize drugs again???

As soon as we get President Ron Paul moved into his new office

(and the prison gates will open and the oppressed will walk free in the land of the free)
